I’ve been meaning to do a thread about this for a while: Myers-Briggs ?

Doesn’t personality change and evolve over time and is not fixed? We grow and develop and learn from our mistakes. I’m not the same person I was in my early 20s. I find the MBPT tends to oversimplify.

Yes you are right Grannyactivist. We do change as we mature. Mine as Defender was uncannily accurate now but I think it would have been different 50 years ago.

I’m an Assertive Protagonist.

Protagonists’ gifts include idealism, determination, and the ability to envision a better future – but they don’t just want to hear what makes them great. Protagonists are committed to actually using these gifts to serve a greater purpose.

I actually have developed since first using the Myers Briggs tests in my early career as a social worker. (The tests have also developed.) A protagonist is ‘a born leader’, which in fact I was not, but have developed leadership skills over time. If twenty years ago you had told me that I would found and lead a charity I would have been surprised, as at that time I had yet to hone the skills and experience I needed to make a success of it.

Architect. I recognise a lot of myself in many areas. Weirdly accurate I'd say. Interesting exercise, thank you.

I am a Turbulent Logician.

Who knew?!

I'm a virtuoso too- most of its correct, 94% introvert,although I have no practical skills at all.

Great thread

I'm an Assertive Virtuoso. So you/we can now be Billy Two Mates, supernanauna1 and AskAlice. Sounds a lot like me.

I am an Advocate and the synopsis of my personality is absolutely freakish in its accuracy.

That was fun! Came out as a mediator. Which is about right. Friend used call me the cheesemaker! (As in life of Brian)

I’m not disappointed or anything, just really surprised, it doesn’t feel like me at all

Tried for the third time, really tried to be accurate, still came out the same, still really don’t recognise myself.

I come out as an Architect - my daughter says it's me to a T
Who knew.

Another advocate here.

I had been wondering what Myers-Briggs was, as I do online dating, and men sometimes refer to it in their profile, saying what sort of M-B personality they are.

My DD has just done it and we are identical!!!

You would a special type of person if you could command a cat

Im an advocate. I recognise myself in the response

I’m a defender personality. Which reading it I can see a lot in me.

Another defender here. I’m pretty sure I did this test before and came out as something different though. Defender does seem very accurate for me. I love these sort of psychology tests!

ENTJ-T Commander, I see no others in this thread. I taught at University level and headed a State level government department during my work life. I have consistently tested as this having done this test several times. Nowadays I content myself with Commanding my household, DH and cats . We all know commanding cats is purely delusional ?

I came up as a defender and I would say reading the profile, yes definitely.

I can't help wondering (curiosity features in my profile ?) if I took the test again right now, tomorrow, next week or next year, in the winter, at midnight rather than midday etc. whether it would come out the same...
Anyone tried it?

My post from this morning, lizzy:

I was a Defender 15 minutes ago. Forgot to save my results and hadn’t checked it out properly, so did the test again and now I’m an Assertive Logistician. Split personality, anyone?

I believe Defenders and Logisticians both come under rhe Advocate umbrella though?

FannyCornforth well if I had taken this test just a few years/decades ago think the results would have been different..enjoyable exercise..thank you!

[FannyCornforth] my result - Assertive Adventurer.. A Lion or a House cat.! Well..depending on my ever changing daily mood and sleep disturbances etc....Yes Lion's ROAR a lot especially when I encounter/hear see social injustices....when exhausted..yes could be a House cat.. LAZY feline just enjoying eating and sleeping
